It seems like just yesterday that PAS offered the promise of being the nice
clean way forward for authentication, and even offered a path to Zope3.
I've been subscribed to zope-dev since then, but somehow the anointing of
PUA escaped my attention.

It seems like plenty of people in these -dev communities aren't aware the
world has shifted again under them, so I pity the poor soul who attempts to
use/install/configure this software.

Hopefully you will finish by the time PAU is considered
ugly/unpythonic/whatever enough to replace <wink/sigh>

The sands constantly shifting under our feet sounds like a much bigger
problem than whatever was wrong with PAS, or whatever will be decided is
wrong with PUA (and repeat ad-nauseam for the variety of successors.)
